Silas Marner (Ausraveloe)

The 'Silas Marner' (Ausraveloe) enchants with its medium-sized, cup-shaped flowers displaying a soft pink palette, subtly brightening towards the edges. This English rose by David Austin exudes timeless elegance, enhanced by its relaxed, almost crinkled petals. Let yourself be seduced by its complex and medium-strong fragrance: a harmonious blend of classic old roses with refreshing notes of lemon, green banana, and apricot. A true literary inspiration, named after George Eliot’s beloved character.

With its healthy, vigorous growth and broad, slightly arching shrub form, 'Silas Marner' is a versatile addition to any garden. It excels in borders, cottage gardens, and mixed beds, but also shines beautifully as a solitary plant or in a spacious pot. Thanks to its tolerance for both sun and light shade, and even a spot against a north-facing wall, this disease-resistant rose easily finds its place, blooming continuously for months.

At Belle Époque Rose Nursery in Aalsmeer, you buy the 'Silas Marner' directly from the grower. With over 40 years of family experience in rose cultivation, we guarantee you a healthy, strong plant raised with passion and expertise.

Roses in pots

A potted rose is a rose plant that has already been grown in a pot and is delivered with a well-developed root system. These roses are ready to be planted directly in the garden or in a larger pot, without having to wait for root growth. This makes the potted rose ideal for planting throughout the year, especially from May through October.

Roses with bare roots

Bare-root roses – also called root roses – are rose plants delivered without a pot or soil. These roses are dormant and can be planted directly in open ground. The best time to plant a root rose is in autumn or early spring, when the soil is still moist and the temperature mild.

At Belle Epoque we supply bare-root roses from November through April. Thanks to the well-developed root system and the right planting conditions, these roses grow vigorously into healthy and bloom-rich bushes or climbing roses.

Products are shipped directly from the nursery every Monday and Wednesday. By delivering only twice a week, we reduce logistical emissions and optimise our processes. This benefits both the quality of our products and the climate.
